At 1 p.m., the two world leaders met at an 18th-century mansion overlooking Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
- It was a rigid meeting and it did not feel like any of them were comfortable, says the expert Gabriella Lockwall who for over twenty years worked with non-verbal communication.
There were no big movements or gestures from either Joe Biden or Vladimir Putin, but there were still several small details in the body language that revealed them.
- Putin's feet showed that he was not comfortable and Biden initiated the handshake quite hesitantly, Lockwall says.
